MMSD Building referendum on the April 7th ballot

The following information is from the Treasurer of Communities and Schools Together (CAST)
Why do we need a Referendum April 7th?

 

Physical buildings help create an environment for great teaching and learning. This referendum addresses MMSD's most urgent facility needs.


These include:

• Constructing additions to five elementary schools.
• Ensuring that schools are accessible to all students, staff, families and community members.
• Renovating a few school buildings and improving learning spaces.
• Upgrading infrastructure to support students' increasing use of technology 

Madison Values Education

• Good schools are essential to a strong community.
• Our schools are our future.
•  Quality education attracts business and home buyers.

Investments in Our Facilities = Investments in Our Students

• Crowded, outdated schools make teaching and learning more difficult.
• All of our schools need to be accessible and welcoming to all students, family, and the entire community.
•  Our students deserve safe and improved access to technology.

It Makes Sense

• The state school finance system makes it difficult to invest in facilities without a referendum.
  
• Since 2011, voters in over 90 Wisconsin School Districts have approved referendum to invest in facilities.
  
•  Approving this referendum will reduce the pressures on the operating budget.
